NEVER FORGET AFGHANISTAN

Discussed by Arielle Del Turco
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

Part 1 of 2

What are Biden and the Democrats hiding about Afghanistan?

Arielle Del Turco is the Assistant Director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council. She recently wrote: “Even as the front pages of newspapers have noticeably shifted away from focusing on Afghanistan, reports trickling in from that country are increasingly troubling.”

Click here to read more on this topic from Arielle Del Turco.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does Biden want us to forget about Afghanistan? Is the MSM helping Biden cover it all up?

Who is suffering right now in Afghanistan?

Have Democrats hailed themselves as the champions of women’s rights? Arielle explains that females of all ages in Afghanistan are suffering unimaginable terror and oppression. She says that women’s rights groups in America are too focused on abortion rights in Texas to pay attention to the women overseas.

Conversion from Islam is a crime punishable by death under the Taliban’s interpretation of Sharia law. Is it clear that terrorists have taken over Afghanistan?

PART 2 OF 2 - NEVER FORGET AFGHANISTAN

Discussed by Arielle Del Turco
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do those who now control Afghanistan care one iota about what the international community may say about their treatment of children, women, and other minorities? Arielle believes that the Biden administration is simply blind to what the Taliban really wants.

Arielle lives in the midst of DC. What has she personally heard and witnessed about the situation in Afghanistan?

Will the suffering of millions of people in Afghanistan continue?

How long will the effects of Biden’s Afghan Debacle be felt across the world?

REWRITING THE HISTORY OF 9/11

Discussed by Dr. Jerry Newcombe
with Dr. Jerry Newcombe

Most adult Americans remember 9/11 well. We can remember exactly where we were when we first heard the news of the attack. However, there are now many Americans who have grown up without a real understanding of what happened that day. Even some educators completely omit the Islamic connection to the attacks.

Author Dr. Jerry Newcombe is the Executive Director of the Providence Forum, an outreach of D. James Kennedy Ministries. He has written/co-written 33 books.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are revisionists omitting the Islamic connection when re-telling/re-writing the events before, during, and right after 9/11?

Are the revisionists deleting the ideology of the attackers? Are they unwilling to place blame? Dr. Newcombe believes this is a dangerous precedent and could invite another 9/11 situation, referencing New York Times best-selling author Robert Spencer.

Is Islam a religion of peace? What was the true motivation for the hijackers? Do some revisionists now paint the hijackers out to be victims?

Many people say: “Let’s just all get along.” But doesn’t the Qur’an state: “Kill them wherever you find them”?

Christians have many names for our living God, the Creator of the universe. Is our God and Allah the same Supreme Being? Dr. Newcombe once again mentions Robert Spencer and his book, “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades”.

NEW MORNING MERCIES

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Sometimes we wander. But God pursues and reconciles. Sometimes we stumble and fall. But God forgives and restores. Sometimes we grow tired and weary. But God empowers us by His grace.

A GLIMPSE INTO EVERYDAY LIFE

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 5

There are times when we have deep theological thoughts about life and God. There are other times when it’s just “life”. Mark Lanier says that life can be separated into three life buckets:
 - the Sin Bucket,
 - the Spiritual Bucket, and
 - the Normal Bucket.

Mark then says we need to look at these buckets through three life lenses: Friendship, Identity, and Sensitivity. Friendship and Identity are the focus of his lesson this week.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

Scripture Passage: Philippians 2:19-27


If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

IDENTITY: (vs 25-27)

Why did Epaphroditus come to Paul? Why was he distressed? Was he depressed? Why was he near death? How and why was he saved?

Do you truly believe that God can change everything? Have you ever felt that God abandoned you in your greatest time of need? Mark shares about the death of his father…

Do you grieve with sorrow or hope?

Where is your identity?

POINTS TO PONDER:

Would Paul find a kindred spirit in YOU? (Philippians 1:20-21)

Who are YOU to others? (Philippians 2:25)

Are you seeking God and His plans? (Philippians 2:27)
